CLARK Dean of Men, University of Illinois. rPHB theory ol tlie newspaper man that It Is the front page that sells the paper is something more than theory, and It applies to many things besides newspapers. I heard a distinguished engineer say once that a badly fitting suit of clothes had ruined the prospects of many an otherwise excellent engineer. Of course It 1b unwise for any tradesman to exhibit too large a percentage ot tils wares in the show window, but a good appearance makes an effective firnt impression, and a good first impression, when backed up by something substantial, goes a long way toward success. If I were In business, I'd see that the walk or the stairway leading to my office were swept clean every day if I had to do the work myself, for I, .know that it is the first impression that often gets the trade. I dropped. Into a business offlcelast week to have an interview and perhiaps to do business with a man who is really a genius In his way. The waiting room was a grimy, dlsheveled'plaoe that gave one a repugnant feelltog as he entered. The table In the center f the room was frowsy with debris and Mrs. Kath. Fortmann Passed Away Tuesday Mrs. Katherine Fortmann suffered a paralytic stroke Tuesday afternoon while at lunch with her son George. Her condition became worse gradually until she succumbed Tuesday afternoon. She was one of the good citizens of Warren County where she has been a lifelong resident. Mrs. Katherine Fortmann, nee Kerkhoft', was born Feb. 8, 1852 at Pitts, about 3i miles from Wriirht Citv. She reeeived ire- lio-ious instruction from Rev. Charles Strack at what is still known as "Strack's Church." She was married to Herman Fortmann of Wright City in Jan. 1874. This union was blessed . VV 1111 Ui V VUllUlVUl 111VJ II vu at Wright City a year, at Pitts another year and then fourteen years at New Boston where they kept a general store. Since 1893 they lived in Marthasville. Mr. Fortmann was called to his reward in September, 1921, after a married life of nearly 48 years. Her death is deeply mourned hy her five children; Mrs. Emma Emma Mittler, Henry of Wright City, Herman, Mrs. Lottie Struebbe, and George; 14 grand children; two brothers-Herman at Wright City and Henry in California, and other relatives and many friends. Funeral services were conducted Thursday afternoon by Rev. L. F. Kurz. In Memoriam In loving memory of our dear sister, Sister Julia W. Koch, who after faithfully serving the epileptic and feeble-minded at Emmaus Asylum near Marthas ville for over 30 years, departed this life one year ago, July 18, 1923. We think of you dear sister often, Since you left us one year ago. Though you are gone, you're not forgotten And many a tear in silence flow. With loving hands and a smlllnfj face You always served the sick and poor. God In His mercy has honored your falih " You shall be with Me furevermore," Sadly missed by brothers, sis ters and Xhe large family at Emmaus. Emil Hilgedick and Robert Mills were in Washington Tues day. Mr. Hilgedick says that he lost only a small amount of corn because of the recent high water. His wheat crop, he says, is the best he ever raised. fHcK-with" theTusf of "weeks. " Cobwebs . festooned the celling, and the floor was littered with toothpicks and cigarette stubs and long, thin rolls of pussy willows"; yet well-dressed women as well as men came there to wait for the services of a man who was one of the best of lils profession in the state. It was hard for me to believe that the work which he would turn out would receive more careful attention than did his office. An undergraduate handed me a paper one day this week to look over and to pass upon, it was rather thoughtfully done, I found when I got Into it, but I had been prejudiced against It at the outset. It was carelessly arranged and badly written and wrongly Indorsed, and sloppy and untidy in Its general appearance. He had given little attention to the makeup of his front page. The principle may be applied to taste to the rouge put on too thick or the shoe polish too thin ; to slunr.v speech and careless manners or to the leiayed dinner call ; to soiled collar and finger nulls in mourning or to carelessly written lecture notes am halting recitations like the conihinn tlon tool. It works equally well under all conditions. It Is true, no doulit. that the clothes do not make the man, but they give one a very definite Impression of him; the front page is, of course, not all the paper, but it is an excellent Index of what one may expect as he reads farther on. Local News Items W. A. Elam and son, of the Valier & Spies Milling Company, made the Record a pleasant call Friday. Mr. Elam ketps in touch, thru the Record, with the progress of Marthasville and the farmers in this vicinity. Mr. Elam saj she believes it would be profitable for farmers here to keep more and a better grade of dairy cattle and he believes it would be a splendid thing to have a milk station established here.

Despite Mie 15,281,205 automobiles and trucks In the United States, there are 18,"203,(X)0 head of horses and mules on farms today and 2,300,000 horses pulling loads In city streets. The coming of the auto and trucks reduced the .(equine workers In cities by 2,000,000 between 1910 and 1920, a reduction of 39 Ir cent. But during the last three years there has been a decided trend In the opfwslte direction. k between 1910 and 19Q0 the horse population on farms decreased 10 per cent. pn January 1, 1924. there was 18,263,000 horses, compared with 21,555,-6.0 six years before. This was the smallest number since 1905. Still, 97 per ceat of all field work Is done by horses and mules. , Vround 1915, under the Influence of stimulated war production and replace- , raent' by mechanical power, horse prices began to decline. By January of this year average values per head were the lowest since 1903. Mule prices, unlike horses, advanced during the war, reaching their peak in 1920. In 1923 there was a thhrd more horses and mules sold than during the previous year. i GViod ni&res and stallions are scarce. During the war horse breeding lan-Kulshe.t The number of colts produced failed to keep pace with the losses by death. Between 1910 and 1920 horse and mule colts combined decreased 22 per cent.. Ibe "arcest percentage of the horse population is old. I Low' prises will continue to discourage horse and mule production and canse stllf further decrease m tne population unui xne average price turns upward. Unless' breeding operations are increased, demand will soon be greater than the supply:- Ho" oon the wsrket turning point will be reached for the rank and file of l.Vtses Is uncertain.

Langen-bacher of St. Charles has just spent two days in the southern part of St. Charles County and finds considerable interest in the use of soybeans and cowpeas as an emerg' vj crop. H. H. Seib of Hamburg, W. H. McCormick, of Defiance, and Henry Teke- meyer of Defiance are all men who know conditions within their community very well and all of them say that farmers are turning to soybeans and cowpeas as an emergency crop for feed where corn has failed. The statement that it is an ill wind that does no good, certainly is true at this time as both these crops are soil builders that provide an immense lot of high quality legume hay and can be sown later than any other crop for that purpose. Dealers and those who have raised more seed than they can use are in position to furnish this seod and it is hoped that our acreage of these crops may become the largest of any crop in the county. Next to the growing of legumes tor the improvement of our soils comesdairying and general livestock farming. This according to surveys made over the United States has resulted m large increases in the per capita bank deposits in those sections. The average bank deposit in grain farming sections less is than $500 per capita while those in general livestock sections, especially where dairy feeding i3 carried on, extends from $500 to as high as $3600. The slogan should be, "Soybeans and cow- peas now alialia ana ciover every year and larger bank deposits." It is profitable to read the advertisements.

Despite Mie 15,281,205 automobiles and trucks In the United States, there are 18,"203,(X)0 head of horses and mules on farms today and 2,300,000 horses pulling loads In city streets. The coming of the auto and trucks reduced the .(equine workers In cities by 2,000,000 between 1910 and 1920, a reduction of 39 Ir cent. But during the last three years there has been a decided trend In the opfwslte direction. k between 1910 and 19Q0 the horse population on farms decreased 10 per cent. pn January 1, 1924. there was 18,263,000 horses, compared with 21,555,-6.0 six years before. This was the smallest number since 1905. Still, 97 per ceat of all field work Is done by horses and mules. , Vround 1915, under the Influence of stimulated war production and replace- , raent' by mechanical power, horse prices began to decline. By January of this year average values per head were the lowest since 1903. Mule prices, unlike horses, advanced during the war, reaching their peak in 1920. In 1923 there was a thhrd more horses and mules sold than during the previous year. i GViod ni&res and stallions are scarce. During the war horse breeding lan-Kulshe.t The number of colts produced failed to keep pace with the losses by death. Between 1910 and 1920 horse and mule colts combined decreased 22 per cent.. Ibe "arcest percentage of the horse population is old. I Low' prises will continue to discourage horse and mule production and canse stllf further decrease m tne population unui xne average price turns upward. Unless' breeding operations are increased, demand will soon be greater than the supply:- Ho" oon the wsrket turning point will be reached for the rank and file of l.Vtses Is uncertain.

Langen-bacher of St. Charles has just spent two days in the southern part of St. Charles County and finds considerable interest in the use of soybeans and cowpeas as an emerg' vj crop. H. H. Seib of Hamburg, W. H. McCormick, of Defiance, and Henry Teke- meyer of Defiance are all men who know conditions within their community very well and all of them say that farmers are turning to soybeans and cowpeas as an emergency crop for feed where corn has failed. The statement that it is an ill wind that does no good, certainly is true at this time as both these crops are soil builders that provide an immense lot of high quality legume hay and can be sown later than any other crop for that purpose. Dealers and those who have raised more seed than they can use are in position to furnish this seod and it is hoped that our acreage of these crops may become the largest of any crop in the county. Next to the growing of legumes tor the improvement of our soils comesdairying and general livestock farming. This according to surveys made over the United States has resulted m large increases in the per capita bank deposits in those sections. The average bank deposit in grain farming sections less is than $500 per capita while those in general livestock sections, especially where dairy feeding i3 carried on, extends from $500 to as high as $3600. The slogan should be, "Soybeans and cow- peas now alialia ana ciover every year and larger bank deposits." It is profitable to read the advertisements.
